The past year and half have been tough with experiences of love, loss, and limerence...so much so that, coming out on the other side of it I must (not-so-subtly) mark a shift in tone. Nothing too serious, nor too exciting.It's 2016 and I'm 20 and 5 (6 if you're counting old-fashioned Chinese). A quarter century old. It only feels right to bookmark this as an ending of a chapter in this life--and the beginning of the next one. Of course, there's never quite a finite ending in continuous time, so here are the sketchbooks I'm filling up and stashing away at the end of the year.

Nothing signals the end of an era like the upgrading of a computer! I got a deal on a bunch of older parts from a friend and rebuilt his "Beast", set up in my corner here:

A list of the games I remember playing in this time gap would be interesting to look back on, so:Metal Gear Solid 3Metal Gear Solid Peace WalkerMetal Gear Solid 4Metal Gear Solid VStarCraft 2: Legacy of the VoidXCOM 2Dota 2Diablo 3Dark SoulsPillars of EternityDarkest DungeonEndless LegendHyper Light DrifterThe WitnessInvisible, Inc.Splinter Cell: Conviction And more...I had the most fun and thoughtful time with Metal Gear. It was particularly touching to play through these four installments of Metal Gears, and seeing the message Kojima had on the death of loved ones, and the way it changed throughout the years.So, that's it for the nothing-to-update-on post.Cheers, to the years to come...
